Whoa. Is this what Clint Capela looks like these days or did someone grab the wrong picture?

It becomes apparent that the play is to clear salary then sign good players on the cheap because too many teams have run afoul of the apron. The Jazz aren't going to take salary back for a Collins deal.

Man, the rich are getting much richer in the west

It is going to be a steel cage match next season

15th place again, but it needs to be done

Glad we didn't try and compete in this West for no reason. Everyone going for it.

It will catch up to these teams at some point. Some will be able to maintain, but it’s a good thing that 14 of 15 are building to win now versus later.

Would be nice to be in the east though -_-

Nurk is the one you would salary dump with a draft pick(s).

Nurk isn't bad. Phoenix had to dump him because they screwed up do badly with the Bradley Beal trade. I'm not sure he's a starter though.

A few of these teams will be dog water for a decade once their runs are over. A few of these teams will be dog water immediately but went in for some reason (Pelicans).

Meh, I'm still not convinced that we are worse than the Pelicans. Portland isn't going anywhere either,

 

[Shad]

So who's going to be bad? Wizards, Nets, Jazz, Raptors, Hornets?

Does Collins for Vincent, Knecht and Shake Milton work now that Finney-Smith is no longer a Lakers cap hold?

He's one of those old school type of bigs that when they fall, they fall HARD. If I remember correctly he was called out in Phoenix for not being able to set basic screens. If you send him to Europe or China and let him cook in the low post, he can probably still get you 18/10. But yeah, he should’ve been out of the league a long time ago.

But why?
